About

Jaclyn Hawtin

I'm a senior product leader who designs and scales AI-enabled systems that align product strategy, data infrastructure, and technical execution.

With 15+ years leading product strategy and platform architecture, I translate complex initiatives into clear roadmaps and durable AI-enabled systems that drive measurable growth. My work focuses on stabilizing complex architectures, embedding AI and experimentation into foundational systems, and aligning engineering, data, and business leaders around durable growth.

When I'm not building software, you'll find me reading about cognitive science, exploring the beautiful outdoors with my lovely pups, or tending to a small collection of houseplants that are, against all odds, still thriving.
